15 Chapter 1 Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) Description This chapter contains the following sections: "STRV Introduction" on page 1-1. "STRV Characteristics" on page 1-1. STRV Introduction A Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) subsystem covers a single geographic area with a single transmitter (in contrast with Simulcast which includes multiple transmitter sites). This topology maximizes frequency and cost efficiency in those areas that can be covered by a single, high-powered transmit site. An STRV subsystem is considered part of a multisite subsystem where the prime site is the central control location for all other sites in the subsystem. STRV Characteristics An STRV subsystem has the following characteristics: Provides radio communication support in the VHF/UHF frequency bands. (Does not support 700/800 MHz bands.) Y29-A December

16 STRV Characteristics Chapter 1: Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) Description Contains many of the same components found in a Simulcast subsystem except for site reference devices. (Time launching of signals from multiple transmitters is not required on a single-transmitter system.) Can have a maximum of 30 RF channels. All remote sites have the same number of channels variable density is not supported. Audio is transported in digital format only. An STRV subsystem consists of the following: One prime site with or without a collocated remote site and with the same components as a Simulcast prime site except for the site reference device. One collocated or remote transmit site with transmit and receive functionality in UHF/VHF bands. One or more receive only remote sites that extend the talkback range in UHF/VHF bands. An STRV subsystem can be configured to handle data Y29-A December 2006

17 Chapter 2 Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) Technical Overview This chapter contains the following sections: "STRV Prime Site" on page 2-1. "STRV Transmit Remote Sites" on page 2-3. "STRV Receive Only Remote Sites" on page 2-3. "STRV Subsystem Data Capability Characteristics" on page 2-5. STRV Prime Site The Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) prime site provides an interface between the zone master site and the STRV remote sites through the prime site router. A second, optional prime site router can be used to ensure redundancy. An STRV prime site has the following characteristics: Can support a collocated remote site (that is, the remote site can be situated within the same physical location as the prime site). The collocated remote site can be a transmit site or a receive only site, but not both. Contains the same components as the Simulcast prime site except the TRAK 9100 Site Reference. Since only one transmitter is used, the system does not need reference signals to transmit simultaneously from multiple transmitters. Features a T1 link between the prime site and the zone master site that employs IP over Frame Relay. This link transports Frame Relay packets containing voice, site control information, and network management information. The ASTRO-TAC comparators at the prime site interface with the remote site base stations using V.24 links for voice and control information. These comparators encapsulate the V.24 audio into Ethernet packets and send them to the prime site router for encapsulation as Frame Relay packets. Ethernet links are used for network management information Y29-A December

18 Prime Site Components Chapter 2: Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) Technical Overview Prime Site Components An STRV prime site has the following components: MTC 9600 site controllers two are included for redundancy. ASTRO TAC 9600 comparators one for each channel in the subsystem, each configured with information about subsites that are transmit remote sites and those that are receive only remote sites. Prime site LAN switches two 24 port Ethernet switches. Prime site router one is required, and a second, optional router can be used to ensure site link redundancy. Prime site channel bank a channel bank for the WAN interface with the zone master site and a V.24 (LDSRU cards) interface with the ASTRO TAC comparators. MOSCAD optional. If a remote transmit site is collocated with an STRV prime site, the following additional component is included: QUANTAR base station A non-linear, C4FM base station operating in the VHF/UHF frequency range providing transmitter and receiver functionality, does not use time launching information sent by a comparator since only one transmitter is used. If a receive only remote site collocated with the prime site, the following components are included: Satellite receiver A QUANTAR satellite receiver (VHF/UHF with Ethernet interface) or an ASTRO TAC satellite receiver (VHF/UHF with no Ethernet interface). MOSCAD required when the ASTRO-TAC receiver is used to support software download operations. Prime Site MTC 9600 Prime Site Controller The MTC 9600 prime site controller is designed for use in an ASTRO 25 STRV prime site using a 9600 bps control channel. The MTC 9600 site controller provides call processing support for STRV remote sites by communicating with the zone s master site zone controller. This controller is capable of supporting up to 15 subsites and up to 30 channels per subsite. Two (redundant) MTC 9600 prime site controllers are required at the STRV prime site, one is active and the other is standby. The standby controller takes over site link and control operations if the active controller fails. Both controllers have an Ethernet link through the Ethernet switch to support redundant operations. The active and standby site controllers keep their channel status information in sync to ensure channel capability information is continually sent to the zone controller. The MTC 9600 prime site controller at the STRV prime site performs the following functions: Generates the Outbound Signaling Packet (OSP). Processes inbound and outbound data requests at the prime site by requesting new data channels from the master site zone controller and routing data between the channels and the Radio Network Gateway (RNG). Provides support for explicit Other Band Trunking (OBT). Supports Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D) Y29-A December 2006

19 Single Transmit Site, Multiple Receiver Voting Subsystem STRV Transmit Remote Sites STRV Transmit Remote Sites The STRV transmit remote site has transmit and receive functionality in the VHF/UHF band. An STRV transmit remote site has the following components: QUANTAR base station A non-linear, C4FM base station operating in the VHF/UHF frequency range, providing transmit and receive functionality Remote site router Motorola Network Management (MNR) S2500 Remote site Ethernet LAN switch Remote site channel bank MOSCAD optional STRV Receive Only Remote Sites The STRV receive only remote sites operate in the VHF/UHF bands. They extend the talkback range and help balance the talk-in coverage with the talk-out coverage for the subsystem. An STRV receive only remote site may be supported by STRV subsystems or Simulcast subsystems with receive only remote sites. An STRV receive only remote site includes the following components: Satellite receiver A QUANTAR satellite receiver (VHF/UHF with Ethernet interface) or an ASTRO-TAC satellite receiver (VHF/UHF with no Ethernet interface) Channel bank Provides a V.24 interface connection to each receiver and a WAN interface for T1 transport to the Simulcast prime site for receiver voting MOSCAD Monitors and reports operating system status (Optional with the QUANTAR receiver, but required with the ASTRO-TAC receiver for software download) Receiver multicoupler specified and/or provided by the field engineer Figure 2-1 shows a receive only site that can be used in multisite subsystems Y29-A December

21 Single Transmit Site, Multiple Receiver Voting Subsystem Receive Only Remote Sites ASTRO-TAC Receiver Receive Only Remote Sites ASTRO-TAC Receiver The ASTRO-TAC receiver is one of the components at a receive only remote site supported by an STRV subsystem. This receiver operates in the VHF/UHF bands and has no Ethernet interface. STRV Subsystem Data Capability Characteristics The STRV subsystem is a data-capable subsystem when the following conditions exist: The subsystem is in wide area trunking mode. The Radio Network Gateway (RNG) at the zone master site is linked with the Digital Cross-connect Switch (DCS). Both MTC 9600 Prime Site Controllers are on the same Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). Both MTC 9600 Prime Site Controllers are configured with the RNG IP address, the maximum number of users per data channel, a page wait timer, and a voice grant filter to activate data-capability. When an STRV subsystem is data-capable, the zone controller at the master site determines how many channels can be used for data and coordinates channel preemption. When data capability is enabled, disabled, or reset, alarms are automatically sent to FullVision INM Y29-A December

23 Chapter 3 Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) Configuration/Optimization This chapter includes the following sections: "STRV Configuration" on page 3-1. "Software Download Considerations for Subsystems with Receive Only Sites" on page 3-3. "Receive Only Remote Site Map to Transmit Site" on page 3-3. "Handling ASTRO-TAC Receiver Subsites in a Multisite Subsystem (SWDL)" on page 3-5. STRV Configuration A Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) subsystem is configured using Zone Configuration Manager (ZCM). The ZCM application categorizes an STRV subsystem as part of a multisite subsystem. Therefore, you will be using the ZCM Multisite Subsystem object to configure the STRV subsystem. Process 3-1 describes the steps to configure an STRV subsystem in the ZCM. Process 3-1 Configuring a Single Transmitter Receiver Voting Subsystem 1 Add a multisite subsystem record. For specific procedures, see the "Configuring a Single Transmitter Receiver Voting Subsystem" section of the Zone Configuration Manager documentation Y29-A December

24 STRV Configuration Chapter 3: Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) Configuration/Optimization Process 3-1 Configuring a Single Transmitter Receiver Voting Subsystem (Continued) Be sure to select Single Transmitter Receiver Voting as the value in the System Topology field. 2 Add channels to the subsystem. A comparator record is added automatically for each newly created channel. 3 Add wireline card records for each comparator. 4 Add the transmitter site. Be sure to set the Subsite Type field to Transmit and Receive. You must add the transmitter site before you add receiver sites. 5 Add the receiver sites. Use the following guidelines when completing the procedure: Be sure to set the Subsite Type field to Receive Only. Select a value for the Base Radio Type field. This value indicates the type of receiver used at the site. Select or enter a value in the Map to Transmit Site ID field. A receive site can only be mapped to a transmit site within the same subsystem Y29-A December 2006

25 Single Transmit Site, Multiple Receiver Voting Subsystem Software Download Considerations for Subsystems with Receive Only Sites Process 3-1 Configuring a Single Transmitter Receiver Voting Subsystem (Continued) 6 Add site control paths. A base radio record is added automatically for each newly created remote site. New exciter, power amplifier, and receiver records are also added automatically. Software Download Considerations for Subsystems with Receive Only Sites Software download functionality for receive only remote sites is different depending on the type of receiver used at the site. The Software Download (SWDL) Manager application centralizes the transfer and restart of new ASTRO 25 digital Simulcast subsystem software. The application is a standalone utility that you can launch from the PRNM Application Launcher. Before you download software to an MTC 9600 prime site controller in an STRV subsystem, you must de-configure the receive only sites, perform the software upgrade using the SWDL manager application, then re-configure the receive only sites. Receive Only Remote Site Map to Transmit Site Receive only remote sites used in an STRV subsystem must be mapped to a transmitter site in their respective subsystems to support comparator equipment at the subsystems prime site. Using ZCM to set up zone infrastructure for a multisite subsystem involves the following: Selecting a subsystem topology (simulcast, simulcast with receive only remote sites, or STRV) Y29-A December

26 Receive Only Remote Sites Using CSS to Configure the Comparator Chapter 3: Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) Configuration/Optimization Establishing a subsystem name (alias) and identification number (multisite subsystem ID), and Establishing configuration parameters for the remote sites objects associated with the subsystem The following configuration parameters must be established when establishing configuration parameters for receive only remote sites: Subsite type Receive only Base radio type QUANTAR receiver or ASTRO-TAC receiver Map to transmit site ID Remote site ID number of a remote site with a transmitter Receive Only Remote Sites Using CSS to Configure the Comparator In addition to using ZCM to set up the zone infrastructure, the Configuration Service Software (CSS) must be used to configure the ASTRO-TAC 9600 comparator (a subsystem s prime site component) by mapping receive only remote sites to a transmit site for a given subsystem. After CSS is successfully connected to the comparator (for example, connecting a laptop running CSS to the comparator) and after successfully reading the configuration file, the comparator supporting subsystems with receive only remote sites can be configured to map the receive only remote sites to a transmit site ID (site with a transmitter). See Figure 3-1. Use CSS to map the receive only remote sites to a transmit site ID (site with a transmitter) for the comparator. To do this, select the ASTRO-TAC 9600 Configuration object, then select the SubSite Configuration tab to access a table with the following columns: SubSite Number a list of the remote sites SubSite Type a drop-down list for selecting the type of remote site (Tx/Rx, Rx Only, Disabled) Associated TX Site ID a drop-down list for selecting the remote transmit site ID number to be associated with the Rx Only remote site Y29-A December 2006

27 Single Transmit Site, Multiple Receiver Voting Subsystem Handling ASTRO-TAC Receiver Subsites in a Multisite Subsystem (SWDL) Figure 3-1 CSS ASTRO-TAC 9600, SubSite Configuration Tab For any SubSite Type field associated with an Rx Only value, select the appropriate transmit site ID from the Associated TX Site ID drop-down list. Handling ASTRO-TAC Receiver Subsites in a Multisite Subsystem (SWDL) A multisite subsystem can have multisite subsites that are comprised entirely of ASTRO-TAC receivers. ASTRO-TAC receivers are not capable of Internet Protocol (IP) communication and thus cannot be upgraded using the SWDL Manager. The SWDL Manager cannot distinguish between subsites that are SWDL-capable but are not IP communicating and ASTRO-TAC receiver subsites. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the ASTRO-TAC receiver subsites from the list of targeted subsites prior to a SWDL transfer or install operation. At the start of a Transfer and/or Install operation, the SWDL Manager polls (that is, by IP query) each subsite. If all subsites respond, the SWDL Manager determines that there are no ASTRO-TAC receiver subsites in the multisite subsystem and the operation proceeds. If any given subsite does not respond, it means that it is either an ASTRO-TAC receiver subsite or it has a device communication failure. The SWDL Manager cannot determine the source of the failure to respond. If all of the non-responding subsites are ASTRO-TAC receivers, then you can continue with the transfer or install operation and the non-response sites are automatically removed from the list of SWDL target subsites Y29-A December

28 Handling ASTRO-TAC Receiver Subsites in a Multisite Subsystem (SWDL) Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) Configuration/Optimization Chapter 3: Single Do not select to continue the operation if any of the subsites are not ASTRO-TAC receiver subsites, since subsites that should be SWDL targets will be skipped causing those subsites to be out of sync with the rest of the subsites in the subsystem. Follow Procedure 3-1 to handle ASTRO-TAC receiver subsites in a multisite subsystem. Procedure 3-1 How to Handle ASTRO-TAC Receiver Subsites in a Multisite Subsystem 1 Click Start Operation.

31 Chapter 4 Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) Operation This chapter contains the following sections: "STRV Operation Introduction" on page 4-1. "STRV Operation Wide Area Trunking" on page 4-2. "STRV Operation Site Trunking" on page 4-2. "STRV Operation Failsoft" on page 4-2. STRV Operation Introduction A Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) subsystem features the following modes of operation: Wide area trunking Site trunking Failsoft The operating modes of the STRV subsystem are similar to those for the digital simulcast subsystem Y29-A December

32 STRV Operation Wide Area Trunking Chapter 4: Single Transmitter Receiver Voting (STRV) Operation STRV Operation Wide Area Trunking The normal operating state of an STRV subsystem is wide area trunking. The basic criteria for wide area trunking include an active RF site control path between the zone controller and the site, an enabled audio rendezvous point in the zone, a control channel, and a voice channel at the site. When an STRV system is in wide area trunking mode, remote sites receive call processing instructions from the master site zone controller. A radio subscriber registered at a site can now communicate with any other radio subscribers in the system. STRV Operation Site Trunking When an STRV subsystem loses communication with the master site zone controller, the subsystem continues to trunk its channel resources within its boundaries and is in the site trunking state. STRV Operation Failsoft An STRV subsystem enters a failsoft mode of operation under the following conditions: When the site controllers are not available to provide trunking operations When all control channels are disabled or malfunctioning When only one control channel is enabled Y29-A December 2006
